The Reality of Existence

 

Muladhara adhipati vaancha kalpalata srividya ganapati

  As we have understood from the Vedic statements and verses of the Bhagavad-Gita, as also, from Upanishad statements the primeval sound 'Om' is the vibration that spread in waves; these in turn created Space (as they moved) and Time (as unit of gap in space, to be traversed), and Causation (cause holding the effect within) by itself! Now, there is no need to search anywhere for the secret of creation. These are better explained in a graphic mode (Sri yantra) and Mantra (Sri Vidya) as already explained (presented here in earlier blogs).

   We, as mortals having a life span of about a hundred years or so, want to know everything about this Universe (Multiverses ?/ containing millions of galaxies) that might have been in existence for almost several millions of billions of years by now! Details about this is available in NASA. Now it is possible to know all these with the help of powerful telescopes. 

    But, the simple question is "Where do we fit in the scheme of things?" 

The answer to this question is more surprising! It is 'Me' the centre of this universe. There is ambiguity about this. Every point is everywhere! The point on the straight line is the same as in an arc, a circle, a triangle or a square and a rectangle, and that point (bindu) is my Self!. I the Self is everywhere and there is nowhere where this I is not. This I is called 'aham' (not the Anglicized 'ego').

  The term 'aham' is the Atman (of Vedanta) or the 'bindu' of Sri yantray (Srividya) and the Self in all. This is elaborately dealt with in the Rk Veda, Mandalka VII -Rudra Shateeya. Rudra says, "I exist in all"; so also, Bhagavan Shree Krishna and Maha Vishnu say "I exist in all as the Self". 

   It is Rudra who runs the jiva all through- whether sleeping, eating or playing; there is none else besides Shiva as Rudra that runs this universe. All jivas are mere vibration of this mysterious power. Lakshmi Tantra makes these points very clear When Divine Mother Mahalakshmi answers the questions raised by Indra as to the nature of this creation. Mahalakshmi says,

  "Well, I am the 'Shakti' (power) manifest form of Narayana; and, I am sovereign with jnyana, iccha, aishvarya, kriya, bala, virya, and tejas. I create this universe for my leela (sport).

In fact everything is Srividya Ganapati, the deity of Muladhara (basal plexus of Consciousness). "Everything is Consciousness" -prajnyanan brahmaa |

 As we all know Ganapati is made of clay, installed, worshipped, and immersed back during the Ganesha festival.So also, the jivas take form from soil (annam) and water and go back to soil!

 The only reality here is that of 'prana'. The clayu toy of Ganapati is infused with life-force, prana, by Devi Parvati, as the story goes. So also the  jiva is infused with prana shakti and it works as long it works and the jiva departs as soon as the prana leaves!

   Now, everything is energy (E). Energy as condensate at focused point vibrates as prana, jiva. As Mahalakshmi has made it clear (in the above Lakshmi Tantra), the jiva is endowed with jnyan, iccha, aishvarya, bala, virya, tejas, albeit in a very small amount (micron), but it works wonders as we find inhuman ingenuity in inventions!

   Thus, the human being, the jiva, endowed with prana, manas/ mind, buddhi has the ability to know not only the world- an objective phenomenal one, but also endowed with the power to know 'who he is'.The moment the jiva realizes 'who it is' the journey ends! There will be nothing to do here in this mrutyu loka, where all that is born has to die. Also there will be no rebirt, it is assured.

  To sum up, the jiva arrives here as a particle of energy (E) may be Hydrogen ion, and gets contaminated with Oxygen and Carbon to assume various forms of hydrocarbons and carbohydrates. The day it wards of its form, name and function, gets rid of carbon and oxygen associates, it becomes totally free to get back to is source. This is mukti, moksha to jiva.    

  Thus, modern science as well as, ancient scriptures help us to understand 'the reality of our existence'.
